Antabuse in my system?
I haven't taken any Antabuse since Thursday afternoon, after being forced to take it for 4 straight days. Do you think it's still in my system?

Antabuse and Me....
I too used Antabuse in early sobriety.
I did drink whith it.... became so violently ill
I quit the Antabuse. Bad mistake!
The catalyst for my reaction was a single split of
champagne ..18 hours after 125 mg of Antabuse.
Be sure and check out the afterlife of Antabuse
Also...you do need to have your
doctor monitor liver enzymes if you take the med.
I do think it can be a good start for sobriety.
I took it each morning along with my birth control pill
for the same reason....Prevention!
It gave my mind time to clear so I could begin my goal
Recovery....

For the sake of information, it took 7 days before I could drink without consequence of the drug. I did still experience the consequences of drinking after I relapsed. The side effects were: anxiety, depression, self-loathing, isolation, and for a very, very short time I forgot my problems and didn't feel anything (quickly to be replaced with feeling like crap again).
